Photo Album: Crawl space encapsulation in Val-Des-Monts, Qc
We received a call from a, Qc customer who lives in Val-Des-Monts, telling us about her crawl space that needed to be inspected.
Our specialist went out there to find a large amount of mold and high humidity. Following our client’s approval, we encapsulated this crawl space by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier and an antimicrobial ingredient that is also present in the vapor barrier to prevent bacteria from reproducing.
Below you can find the installation process.

SmartSump pump installed
This is the best solution for a crawl space sump pump solution. This pump is specifically designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods.
SilverGlo for more protection
The tiny particles in the SilverGlo will reflect heat and lower the material's conductivity for superior R-value per inch.
